hi guys,
im in the process of re-drawing all the stickers from my Super Hang On cabinet. ;D
I allready have done severals brand logos (RK Takasago,Hu-Tech,CIBIE,etc) and i'm starting the Super Hang On logo.
So i carefully tear off the sticker, making sure that i didnt twist it.
Scant it, but in Illustator when i put my line marks i can see that the original drawing isn't parallel.
check it:

It's particulary visible on the half of the "Super".. :shock:
So my 2 questions are:
-Do you think i should re-do the same mistake or should i straight up the logo?
-Do you think i can have the same dot frames effect if i print it on a digital printer or an offset?
My tought is that the decals was made using silkscreen technic, can some of you (etienne perhaps ;)) give me is light on this?
Thank you for reading. :wink:
PS: Of course, as soon as i finish them, i will send them to zorg to put on vectorlib. :P

I think the "halftone" will come out fine if you got a decent printer.
Here a fast trick to create the halftones in perspective ;)
http://illustrationinfo.com/?p=46 (http://illustrationinfo.com/?p=46)
About the correction, that depends on the location of the decal i think.
I can imagine that when it is pasted to a "curved" surface it was ment to compensate that.
If its is pasted on a flat surface, i would "repair" theyre mistake.
Another factor to help your decision can be the size of the decal.
I mean if its a small sticker, you will not notice the "repair" but you will feel better in your head ;)

Thanks for the help Etienne. :spaceace:

Hey fellows,

can you give me yours opinions? ::)
-
Downloading the PDF now for inspection ::) ;D
-
Very nice job !
I did cleaned the file a bit (removed unneccesary things) and it reduced the file size from 11Mb to 3,5 Mb ;)
presvectorSHangOnmodified.pdf
Again, Well done ! :spaceace:
EDIT:
File removed, avaiable at vectorlib soon ;)
-
Thanks man, it's very kind! :)
How did you shrink the file this much? It's not just removing the scan isn't it?
-
I kindly request the right to host it on vectorlib (http://vectorlib.free.fr) ? may I ??
-
hi zorg,
I have re-done almost every stickers from the Super Hang On cab.
As soon as they are all finished, i give them to you . ;)
But don't take this one, it has some little mistakes that i want to erase first.
-
I have removed everything that was not visible in the final product.
You had a big part of halftoning above the artboard, and that is alot of circles ;)
will you do the corrections yourself on your file, an can i erase this that i put up my server ?
-
@Etienne:
Yep im correcting the .AI file right now. you can delete the pdf.
Thx again !
-
OK no problem, I will wait for corrected version.

Hi guys,
I m back on my project but i ve to make several mods on my sticker.
A bit of blabla first.
In fact i have 2 SHO cabinet a white, and a red one.
I was always wondering if the red one is a sega or a bootleg. I cant find pics of other red SHO.
Also the PCB is very different that the one on the white cab (an original sega)
,the artwork are slightly different too. Esp the SHO sticker, the one i'm re-drawing atm.
(http://i49.servimg.com/u/f49/16/19/20/12/ori_vs11.jpg)
The dark red on the back of the letter is not present on the bootleg's sticker.
The other thing that is tickling me is the small offset of colour.
See
(http://i49.servimg.com/u/f49/16/19/20/12/talkin10.jpg)
At beginning i was thinking that was a mistake of the printer, but it's on both stickers (boot and ori), so i start thinking it's on purpose..
What do you think:
Should i offset my vecto to make it look like the original, or do you think it's a copied mistake?
The halftones seem to be made with small squares, do you think i should use small squares too? Or maybe it's just an illusion.. :ghost:
Thanks for reading. :)

If it can help you, 2 pics of my LE Hang On :

-
I think you are right, and its ment to be offset
if you look good, you see the part of your arrows is off to the right, but the white line just before that is to the left.
if it was a mistake by the printer this would mean that that layer was printed too low, and thats not the case since its good at the top and bottom.
so i think you should replicate the "mistake"
-
I think you are right etienne, and seeing the pics of JCP (thanks man :)), i'm now 100% sure it's not a mistake. ;)
What about the halftone? Did you ever had to make some squared dots? ???
-
I have not, but i can explane why it looks square.
here is a stroke of halftone, that has the same effect
the second pic is zoomed in extremely and explanes why it looks like squares, its because the dots are overlapping and the holes created by it look a bit square.
the more overlap, the smaller the square becomes ;)
In the lighterpart, it looks like there is more spacing between the dots, but what actually is happening, is that the diameter of the dots is getting smaller and leaves more of the background color "shining through" ::)
-
I get it now!
Thx Etienne. :spaceace:
-
Hey! :)
I still have some questions for VectorMaster, can i ? :p
Im drawing the outer parts of the stickers, but i dont know how to deal with rounded edges..
(http://i49.servimg.com/u/f49/16/19/20/12/captur11.jpg)
As you can see i ve started by making somes circles then i will stitch everything with pathfinder.
It's precise, but it's also take time.. I was wondering maybe you guys know a better/faster technique?..
Thx for reading. :)
-
that is the only possible way i think,
i did the same for the outline of the Zacc mini cabinet outline ..

Would be super if you post these again. Link seems dead.
Thanks /Magnus

The link is not dead, its working here.
Just remember that you choose "save target as" then it will be fine

Works now! Hmm.. Thanks anyway :)

Youre welcome ;)

Sorry for upping this, but i noticed that on vectorlib there are almost all the scans for Super Hangon but the CPO is not complete. The control panel overlay is made up of two pieces of plexiglass with two different graphics placed one over the other to give a sort of 3D effect.
Recently i acquired a weel in better conditions than the one i had, and had the opportunity to scan those plastics ;D
I have not ilustrator nor vectormagic so i was thinking to place the files somewhere and have them vectorized and then sent to vectorlib...
here are the links
